Whitwick Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Whitwick maintain a markedly lower crime rate than the UK average, with 2.5 crimes per 1,000 residents — a figure 65.8% below the national average of 7.3. This built-up area within North West Leicestershire continues to demonstrate a crime profile characterised by a balance between property and violent crime. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35% of all reported crimes, followed closely by anti-social behaviour and burglary, each contributing 20%. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these patterns: the onset of shorter evenings, coupled with Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, may have influenced both the frequency and nature of incidents. While the area's relatively low crime rate suggests a stable community, the seasonal context highlights the need for vigilance during events that draw larger crowds or extend activity into darker hours. The interplay between local demographics and seasonal rhythms appears to be a key driver of crime trends here, with no single factor dominating the picture.

November 2025 marked a significant shift in Whitwick's crime profile, with violent crimes plummeting by 56.3% compared to October, reflecting a reduction from 16 to 7 incidents. This decline aligns with the month's shorter daylight hours and the absence of major festivals that typically draw crowds to public spaces. Conversely, other theft rose sharply by 200%, increasing from one to three incidents, a trend that may be linked to increased retail activity during Black Friday. Burglary also saw a 33.3% increase, rising from three to four cases, though this remains 67% below the UK average for that category. Anti-social behaviour fell by 50%, from eight to four incidents, potentially due to a combination of community initiatives and the seasonal lull in outdoor socialising. The area's performance in violence and sexual offences stands out, with its rate at 0.9 per 1,000 — 65% below the UK average — a statistic that could offer a model for other regions grappling with similar challenges.

Whitwick's November 2025 crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents represents a 42.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.4, underscoring a sustained downward trend in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, warrants attention to the types of incidents occurring. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure to crime equates to one reported incident for every 399 residents — a ratio that highlights the area's relative safety compared to the UK average. This context is particularly meaningful for residents, as it provides a tangible measure of risk that factors in both the number of incidents and the local population. The contrast with the UK average is stark: while the national rate for violence and sexual offences stands at 2.6 per 1,000, Whitwick's figure is 0.9 per 1,000, a difference that could be attributed to the area's smaller size, stronger community policing, or the presence of fewer high-risk environments. These comparisons reinforce the notion that Whitwick's approach to crime prevention, though not without challenges, has yielded measurable results.
